The leisurely life of rebirth.

Although Andres didn't know what happened when he was gone, but looking at Mari's complexion and spirit, it was obviously much better.The eyes here are full of brilliance, longing for life.It is no longer a look of decadence and defeat.He was visibly relieved, "Oh! Honey, you look much better." He bent forward and hugged her.

"Really! I think so too." Stacey hugged her hands back.

Watching the big show of intimacy in front of them, Fang Monan put on his shoes and put the medicine on the coffee table, and mouthed to her: "This is your painkiller, remember to drink it." ' She pulled Mo Bei up, "Since Mr. Andres is here, we should go."

Andres turned around, "Thank you for taking care of her, no matter what you do, thank you."

"It's also your trust." Fang Monan said, otherwise everything would be useless. [

"Let's go first, or the meal will be cold in a while." Fang Monan finished speaking and pulled Mo Bei away.

After Fang Monan and the others left, Andres patiently finished feeding Stacy.

Stacey felt the pain in her waist was unbearable, so she asked Andres to boil the packet of traditional Chinese medicine. After he cooked the medicine according to her instructions, he looked at the bowl of medicine that was about to cool down on the bedside table next to the hospital bed. , Mari never said what it was for, so she kept it on.He couldn't help but asked, "Mari, what is this smell so bad?"

"Painkillers!" Stacy said with difficulty.

When Andres heard it was medicine, "What? Where did you get it? I won't allow you to drink it." Who knows if drinking it will cause problems.

"Okay. I won't drink, but you'd better call the doctor now, I can't bear the pain." Stacy said with a grin.

Andres ran out immediately when he heard that, while Stacey tilted her head and put the long straw into the medicine bowl, it was just right!Otherwise it's really hard to do!Inhale hard, mouth full of bitter medicine. 'It's bitter' Hearing the sound of rapid footsteps, she wrinkled her facial features tightly, finished sucking in one breath, spit out the straw, and panted heavily.

At this time Andres was fooled.He ran back quickly, but it was too late. He saw the brown medicine juice remaining at the corner of Stacey's mouth, the empty medicine bowl and the straw inside.He rushed into the hallway and yelled, "Doctor, doctor, come on. Come see how Stacy is doing. Oh, my God!"

The doctor rushed over quickly, and Andres grabbed the room tightly, "Check it out, check it out quickly. Marie just drank something she shouldn't be drinking."

"Jerry, don't listen to Andres' nonsense, I'm fine. I'm fine, better than ever" Stacey said when she saw her old friend and her good friend Jerry.

Jerry is a neurosurgery doctor in this hospital. When he heard his old friend Andres yelling in the corridor, he rushed over and asked his friend what made his friend so disrespectful of etiquette.

"Really! Marie. You look good. Actively cooperate with the treatment, and you will definitely get better." Although Jerry knew the power of such comfort, he still said so.

"Jerry, don't listen to her, you should check her carefully. Must, must, immediately." He shook the doctor's arm vigorously and said.

"Andres, calm down, can I check?", "Stop shaking. I can't stand your big hands." Seeing him let go, Jerry began to ask.

"Marie, what's wrong?" Jerry asked.Marie shook her head.

"No, didn't you just say that the waist and back hurt badly." Andres said.

"It doesn't hurt now." Marie said, it's amazing, it doesn't hurt so much, of course there is still a little bloated feeling.

Jerry shrugged, and Andres said worriedly: "No, you are still going to take a T (computerized x-ray tomography scan)?"

In order to reassure him, Stacey said, "Okay! Can't I shoot it!" [

In Room T, Jerry looked at the screen and frowned, and Andres saw it, "Why is his condition getting worse again, isn't it bad?"

"No, it's not getting worse. Although it's very small, it's strange that I see a significant improvement in my condition? How is it possible?" Jerry said.

"Improved!" Andres heard, "You mean, Mary's spine has not deteriorated, but improved." He made sure again.

"Yes! Look here, and here, the edema has shrunk." Jerry said, pointing at the screen.

Andres is incomprehensible to laymen, but the improvement represents hope.He ran to Mary who had been released, and happily told her the good news.

Stacey took it for granted that later generations said that Chinese medicine is really amazing.

****************************

Fang Monan and the others returned home and sat on the sofa, "Why don't you ask me what I'm doing inside?"

"What's so strange, you are treating Stacy." Mo Bei said.

"How do you know." Fang Monan was taken aback, too careless, when did she know. "other people……."

"Don't worry, Grandpa Lin and I know at home." Fang Mobei said.

After hearing her words, Fang Monan also knew why she knew.

The next thing is easy.There are two other exams, both of which are minor to Mobei.Another task is that Mobei hasn't gone to elementary school yet, but her family taught her when she was at home.It is possible to graduate from Curtis only if she has obtained a high school diploma during Curtis. Therefore, she needs to enter an elementary school in Philadelphia.Everyone seemed to have forgotten about it, so when they decided to investigate the situation of each elementary school before making a decision, they received a call from Ludwig: "Let's go to elementary school together."

With Ludwig's help, they stopped investigating.Mobei's family members are also relieved to have a companion to accompany them.The elementary school is a public elementary school near the University of Pennsylvania.

Fang Monan and his aunt sent Fang Mobei to live in Curtis. At a glance, the Curtis Conservatory of Music is a typical style of the [-]th century, but its gate is very inconspicuous, compared with the gates of later universities in China. It's really a big difference, but the quality of education doesn't seem to be directly proportional to the degree of luxury.After going in.Fang Monan felt quite good, with a strong artistic atmosphere.Auntie and Murnan looked at the hardware equipped by Curtis, each person has an apartment, from the kitchen to the bathroom, which is very convenient, and nodded in satisfaction.

"It's really better than my conditions at Peking University." My aunt said with emotion, "We've all been corrupted." It's far from comparable to the four-person or eight-person dormitories in China.

"It's not good. Didn't you see the piano department? One person moved a Steinway back to the apartment." Fang Monan said.

Because there is a music student in the family, everyone knows a little about well-known musical instrument brands. Steinway's pursuit of timbre is almost abnormal.Rigorous inspection is required before being released to ensure that each Steinway piano has a unique sound.In terms of timbre, Steinway's voice is difficult to express in words, and it feels like a graceful and regal voice.Whenever people hear Steinway's voice for the first time, they are not overwhelmed by its noble temperament.Steinway's piano bass is rich and thick, and the midrange is warm and generous.The treble is bright and gorgeous.But as far as the alto is concerned, Steinway is the most outstanding, with strong appeal and expressive power, but in Fang Monan's opinion, it is Steinway's natural imperial temperament that is the most lethal.The expensive price is even more jaw-dropping, it's really a 'luxury'!

"Well! It's worth a lot!" Auntie nodded, "I'm still a little worried about letting Mo Bei live here. It's still too young."

"It's okay to be close. Don't worry, you can visit me often. I can take care of myself. I'm at school every day and I'm safe." Fang Mobei changed the subject, "You should be more worried about my sister, we are all in school, She is the only one left at home during the day."

"Yes! This is really difficult." The aunt thought for a while, "That's good. You can go to university with me during the day, and go to the library to stay."

"Ah! No, I can do it alone at home." Fang Monan's hard-earned alone time, how could it be gone. "Now I'm the one who takes care of you. I cook the meals, do the laundry, and clean the house."[

My aunt blushed, thinking about it, she had no time to take care of the children in order to adapt to the university life here, and the children were taking care of her. "Then why don't we find a nanny! This is not negotiable." The bourgeoisie is the bourgeoisie, and this can be regarded as doing as the Romans do, and my aunt will always make excuses for herself.

In fact, Fang Monan could also say that she was in elementary school, but that was just a passing thought. She would rather go to homeschool and ask Andres to help. She told Stacey when she went to the hospital this afternoon. Homeschool is self-study at home. At the end of each semester, Jane needs to submit a teaching report to the Education Bureau, and the children take the exam. As long as they pass the exam, they can continue homeschool in the next school year.

After giving Stacey another treatment, Fang Monan said: "Mari, please Andres accompany me to elementary school. I think homeschool is convincing if accompanied by an adult."

"This...Okay." Stacey wanted to refuse at first, but then she thought that she was too independent, since she decided, it would definitely not be bad.

As Stacy expected, Andres accompanied Fang Monan to the Education Bureau and the elementary school. When going through the formalities, Fang Monan answered fluently and went to middle school without any problem.

The family hired a nanny, Jenny, in her 40s, black, and a fat aunt. In fact, she was a part-time worker. Fang Monan told her in advance not to interfere in any of her affairs, as long as she cleaned the room, did the laundry, and washed the dishes, and did not need to cook. .Because cooking is Fang Monan's job, she doesn't like washing dishes.

After my aunt gradually got used to college life, Fang Monan urged her to learn to drive and get a temporary driver's license.It is very inconvenient not to have a car. Although there is no need to go out to buy rice, noodles and vegetables, daily necessities must be bought.Besides, it is unreasonable not to go out to buy food all day long.

Auntie passed the written test very quickly. During the road test, the carefulness unique to women allowed her to pass the test smoothly.The traffic in the United States is much more complicated than that in China, and the traffic rules are also very strict.Their main test is safety awareness, but driving skills are second.Because it is easy to improve driving skills, once there is no awareness of safety, you will be in trouble.This is completely different from the country.Domestically, it is about practicing skills, ignoring the rules, and ignoring pedestrians—gifts are fine.China's accident rate of 3% with 25% of the world's motor vehicle population speaks for itself.

Auntie is a one-time pass for only $50.No treats, no gifts, no cheating, no anger.This is in stark contrast to the country.I remember that in the early 90s, when my dad took the driver's license test, it was 3000 yuan, which was the result after giving gifts.Except Myung Jae.He also eats and takes cards in layers, and suffers in layers.

The government's arbitrary taxation is fiercer than a tiger, and the taxes in later generations are as numerous as ten thousand taxes, ten thousand taxes, and tens of thousands of taxes. Meager benefits.There is no free lunch in the world, and every welfare that the government gives us is squeezed out of our tax dollars.Sometimes, the common people really want to get rid of the "welfare" that pays lip service but not in reality, so let's collect less tax.

He is so vicious that even a small driver's license is not spared. The rise of a big country or the seizure of a big country?

Taking the driver's license test and driving on the road are two different things. After getting the driver's license, my aunt happily drove Fang Monan to the supermarket to buy something, and on the way back.The puppy crossing the road frightened my aunt to step on the brakes instead of the accelerator, which made my aunt let go of the steering wheel with both hands. In the end, Fang Monan sat on her lap decisively, kicked her feet away, and stepped on the brakes.After the car stopped.Apply the handbrake.There is only one hand between the car and the wall, huh!so close.

The car stopped, and my aunt kept breathing, "I was scared to death, I just need to get a driver's license, it seems that I have to practice hard."

"Hey! When did you learn to drive?" My aunt asked curiously after she calmed down.

"It's been with you for so long in the coach car, so I've seen it." Fang Monan said as a matter of course.

"Fortunately, I have you." Auntie said.Otherwise, the consequences will be unpredictable!

"Huh! As long as you know." Fang Monan said, "Let's go! Go home."

Afterwards, whenever they came back, Fang Monan taught them the correct western food etiquette one after another. After all, they didn't go home to eat every day, and they had more chances to eat out. Do as the Romans do, it shouldn't be too embarrassing.

It is well known that there are many lawyers in the United States. There is such a humorous story: Many years ago, several Americans, Russians and Cubans traveled together in a train compartment.While the train was running, the Russian took out a bottle of vodka and drank it, but threw the bottle out of the car after a few sips.The Americans didn't understand why he wasted so much. The Russian replied: "Our country has the best vodka and the most vodka. It's so much that you can throw it away!" The Cuban next to him was smoking a cigar, and when he saw this, he quietly Throwing a half-smoked cigar out of the car too.The Americans said: "Why do you do this?" The Cubans replied: "In Cuba, we have the best cigars and the most cigars. We don't worry about wasting too many cigars."

The American thought for a while, without saying a word, stood up and opened the car, turned around and threw the accompanying lawyer out of the house...

People here are not familiar with the place, so relying on anything is better than relying on oneself. Fang Monan let the aunt and the others familiarize themselves with some common legal knowledge, which is better than being bullied and not knowing how to fight back.

In the eyes of outsiders, there are so many American lawyers, mainly referring to private lawyers in the United States.The United States is a country of case law, the law is complicated, and there are all kinds of cases.Cultural traditions also lead to more lawyers. The 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, said a warning that represented the culture of American lawyers: "We must make the law the political belief of this country." Where there is a market, there is demand. It's because lawyers earn a lot of money. People scold lawyers for being good, but they still can't do without lawyers, urging their children to go to law school.

For many, many foreigners who immigrate to or visit the United States, the first person they meet when they enter the United States may be a lawyer, and the last American they know when they leave the United States may also be a lawyer.

So Fang Monan helped the two of them integrate into this society as soon as possible. Every holiday, the auntie and the two of them would follow Fang Monan's instructions and go home to get together.The most important thing is to beat the teeth and have a good meal.After all, she has lived here for nearly ten years. With her leading the way, she would avoid detours. My aunt curiously asked Fang Monan why she knew so much.

Fang Monan wagged his fingers old-fashionedly, "If you don't have knowledge, you should master more common sense. If you don't have common sense, you should watch more TV. If you don't have TV, you can flip through magazines. If you don't have money to buy magazines, you can read newspapers."

"You son of a bitch, you're even lecturing me." Auntie stood up, chasing her and beating her.Mobei looked at Fang Monan deflated, and laughed.

The laughter dispelled the thoughts of homesickness, although they called home every now and then to report that they were safe, after all, they were far away from the Pacific Ocean.No matter how expensive the phone bill is, it can't stop them from calling.

Curtis’s teaching is very free, and there are performances almost every day. The performance time will be posted in each hall of the school, and the invoice will be returned for those outside the school, free of charge!Fang Mobei felt that he was pulled into the ocean of music all of a sudden, almost drowned, a little too rich, he didn't know how to arrange himself, let alone going to elementary school.

At the beginning, Mo Bei was very busy. She was not afraid of the performance, and even excited. The most frightening thing was not these, but that she had to learn a thorough understanding of the history of modern music in a short period of time.Because from time to time, you will see those legendary characters in the academy.For example, when you go to the elevator, you will be told by a certain conductor to wait a while, or a certain master in the composition world will rush by in the corridor and bump into you.

These things should have been popularized by Leonard. Fortunately, he also knew a Ludwig, and it would be better if he was willing to popularize this knowledge for Mobei.

A master or even a legendary character will appear in the academy in about three or four days. Therefore, after more than a month, Mobei is finally full of people and will not be making jokes.Moreover, Ludwig has the potential of a gossip man, so he knows everything about them, from their resumes to their anecdotes, and tells Mo Bei one by one.Mo Bei finally came to the conclusion that those masters and gods were all monsters, including his professional mentor Andres, who was far less accommodating and kind than he originally imagined.

This burly instructor was no longer as gentle and soft-spoken as he was to Mari. In teaching courses, it was not bad to describe him as a devil at all.

Mo Bei insisted on changing her habits to adapt to Andres's cloudy and incomprehensible teaching method, "It turns out that people really adapt to the environment." She took a big mouthful of porridge. "Sister, aunt, you don't know that his biological clock is more sensitive than the alarm clock. I can't be late, and I can't delay his time. You know that I have to go to elementary school, and sometimes I will sweat when I run. This is not okay. When I go to class, I just need to burn incense and take a bath. I have to take advantage of the loopholes to find his time. Also, I play the violin in class. Yeah, and then it's over. And next time, I didn't change it, and it made me cry to God, and it made me go numb. Sometimes he's babbling, but whenever I bring up Stacey's illness, he I will be in a better mood, and will kindly point out my shortcomings, and the result is that I am criticized. But it can be regarded as a knock on the door, as long as I mention Stacey, I will always gain a lot." Mo Bei He smiled and said: "The tutor is an out-and-out foodie, I think if my sister goes, the treatment will be better than me."

"All artists have the potential to be neurotic," said my aunt. "There is a fine line between a genius and a madman."

"A reasonable requirement is training, and an unreasonable requirement is tempering." Fang Monan brought out fried small yellow croakers from the kitchen again, "What about you! How is the effect!" Fang Monan brought fried small yellow croakers from the kitchen again. fish.

"Hey... the effect is not bad." Fang Mobei said with a smirk, it's not only not bad, she thinks that the improvement is obvious.

"Incisive!" My aunt said, "What about the other mentors! They also have this virtue." She asked curiously.

"The common problems are connected, everyone is the same." Fang Mobei laughed when he said this, "It's even worse than me..." She chattered about what she had seen in the school, which amused them. (to be continued)
